Lucid has started rolling out one of its most significant software updates yet for the Gravity SUV, adding hands-free driving capabilities alongside a range of new navigation, charging, and convenience features.
Hands-Free Driving Arrives for Gravity
The over-the-air (OTA) update, known as Lucid UX 3.6, is now being deployed to Gravity owners across North America. Most notably, the update introduces Hands-Free Drive Assist for DreamDrive 2 Pro-equipped vehicles.
According to Lucid, Hands-Free Drive Assist can manage steering, acceleration, and braking on approved highways while monitoring driver attention. Drivers can also initiate a lane change by using the turn signal, allowing the system to take in surrounding traffic and move into the adjacent lane when available.
The company is also introducing Automatic Lane Change, which can independently perform passing maneuvers around slower-moving traffic. Taking a page out of Tesla’s playbook, owners can choose between different driving styles, including a more conservative approach that minimizes lane changes or a more assertive mode designed to overtake slower vehicles more frequently.
Alongside the new driver-assistance features, Lucid has enhanced the visualizations displayed on the Gravity’s instrument cluster and center display. The system can now show traffic across five lanes and provides more detailed representations of surrounding vehicles, including SUVs, pickup trucks, and buses.
Google Maps Integration Enhances Navigation
The software update also brings improvements to Lucid Navigation through integration with the Google Maps Places API. Drivers can now access more destination information, including photos, ratings, business details, and parking information.
Charging station listings have also been upgraded with more accurate real-time availability data and recent imagery to help drivers better plan charging stops.
New Charging and Energy Management Tools
Lucid is also focusing on improving the charging experience. New energy-management tools provide greater visibility into battery preconditioning and charging performance.
A battery readiness indicator now shows how close the pack is to reaching the optimal temperature for DC fast charging, while Predictive Charging Power estimates the charging speeds drivers can expect before plugging in.
Adaptive Headlights
Another notable addition is Adaptive Driving Beam technology, available on vehicles equipped with DreamDrive Premium or DreamDrive 2 Pro. The feature keeps high beams active while dynamically adjusting light patterns around other road users, improving nighttime visibility without creating glare for oncoming traffic.
Tesla released the same feature to its cars last year, also through a free OTA software update.
Beyond the headline features, UX 3.6 includes several quality-of-life improvements, including faster system startup, improved auto lock and unlock behaviour, customizable mirror tilt settings while reversing, and improvements to Lucid’s Halo Secure Drive Recorder.
